Miriam Jacobs Residency and Art Show

In November 2009, Miriam Jacobs was invited to do a teaching residency at a private school in Greenwich, Connecticut. She taught the students transfer disperse dye, a method of printing on fabric. The students ranged from third grade to high school seniors. They worked hard to prepare several pieces for printing, and were able to make collages and even collaborate with each other on pair and group pieces. Miriam was extremely pleased with the students’ diligence and ability to experiment. In December, Miriam had a solo show in the school’s gallery, exhibiting primarily her textile work. Miriam created a new body of work for the show, including some pieces that are eight feet by six feet large. She also proudly displayed some of her students’ work. During the opening, a local reporter made a short video interview of Miriam and her work, which can be seen here.
